indifference can be Negative consequences for your relationships with other people. It can also lead to loneliness and social isolation. Sometimes it is difficult for a person to understand how devoid of sensitivity he is, because it is not easy to objectively evaluate himself. But if you carefully monitor your own emotional reactions and communication with other people, you can come to certain conclusions. It is also possible that your ability to empathize is limited due to a mental disorder.

Steps

Assess Your Behavior

Ask yourself:"Do I care about this? " . One of the main characteristics of indifferent people is a lack of empathy. Empathy can manifest itself in varying degrees. Some are just more sensitive than others, but a very low level of empathy can make you look cold and uncaring in the eyes of others.

Watch how people react to you. Surrounding people usually try to move away from indifferent people. To understand this, you just need to watch how people react to you.

• How often do people try to strike up a conversation with you in social situations? If you initiate conversations yourself, then people may be wary of you because of your attitude towards them. Do they often keep up the conversation they have started or find a reason to leave as soon as possible?
• Do people laugh at your jokes? Often people around do not understand the jokes of indifferent people. If they don't laugh or give a polite, awkward chuckle, this may indicate your indifference.
• Are you being asked for help? People are afraid to tell their problems and seek help from an indifferent person. If you are always the last to know about a friend's divorce or your relative's dismissal, then the fact that you react to such situations in the wrong way may be the reason. This is a sign that you are desensitized.
• Have you been told that you are an indifferent person? This may seem obvious, but many people ignore such remarks as hypersensitivity others. If you have been told such things more than once or reproached for your behavior, then this is very significant.

1. Assess your behavior. Indifferent people can behave differently. At the same time, some behaviors are rude and impolite. Here are some examples of the behavior of an indifferent person:

   Recognize the need for emotion. Sadness may seem meaningless, illogical, and even selfish to you. You may not understand why the person is not willing to think about the problem in order to correct the situation. But emotions are no less important for decision making than logic. Emotions can spur you to make changes in your life, as emotional discomfort is often the impulse that pushes us out of our comfort zone.

   Understand your own emotions. It is possible that feelings make you feel uncomfortable and confused, or you were taught to hide and suppress your own emotions, listen only to the voice of logic. Regardless of the reason, you have distanced yourself from your own feelings and have now lost the ability to empathize.

Learn the signs of narcissism. The narcissistic syndrome is mental disorder, due to which people have an inflated sense of self-importance and a tendency to lack empathy. Narcissism is relatively rare (0-6.2% of the population), with 50-75% of cases occurring in men.

Someone else's indifference, oh how we care

Indifference - makes a person an accomplice in crime.

The city resembles a taiga, where only wolves live, if everyone indifferently passes by a person lying on the ground, sick or beaten.

The look of envy is dangerous, love is pleasant, and only an indifferent look irritates and kills.

Good well-mannered person looks through the keyhole with an indifferent look.

We live in a world where callousness and indifference are increasingly becoming the norm of human relations, and our souls, like a shell, are covered with scabs of dried-up suffering and resentment.

Robert James Waller. Bridges of Madison County

Indifference as a quality of personality - a tendency to show indifference, disinterest, selective lack of interest in someone or something at a given time; setting the mind to eliminate the excessive importance of someone or something.

Once a student who studied less than the rest of the students asked the Teacher: “Master, I have this difficulty . I noticed that often when I sell something, it doesn't matter to me whether the buyer buys the product or not. I enjoy the process, and this pleasure is the main thing for me. . - How much do you sell? “I have long been considered the best salesperson in my firm. And in the company where I worked before, I also sold the most.” - “And how long have you had this indifference to the result?” - “About half a year. That's why I came to you." “I can't help you much. It looks like you have already comprehended the Way.

Indifference is a vicious quality of a person if it manifests itself in the form of indifference to people. Liz Burbo writes : « An indifferent person has no feelings, no special interest in anyone or anything; it does not vibrate; he is not touched by others; something happens, but his life does not change from this. He simply does not pay any attention to those people and things that do not interest him. It is usually difficult to experience human indifference. You feel unnecessary, uninteresting, insignificant and, most importantly, unloved. Many prefer to provoke the anger or anger of another person, just not to suffer from his indifference. The most affected by the indifference of their neighbors are people with the traumas of REJECTED or ABANDONED. Remember that every person has the right to decide that someone or something does not interest him. This does not necessarily mean dislike or disgust; it only means that the person has made a choice and that it is nothing more than a choice. And it is especially important to remember that a sensitive, vulnerable personality often hides behind an indifferent appearance.

Indifference is the other side of interest. This is interest turned inside out. Interest and indifference are two different poles. The path to interest goes from indifference and vice versa. The girl was indifferent to football, but in order for her beloved guy to be interested with her, she became interested in football. At first, the interest was ostentatious, but after visiting several matches, I was imbued with a genuine interest in this game. When they broke up, and there was no one to go to the stadium with, interest in football gradually faded away. The pendulum has swung in the direction of indifference. This is how we go through life, swinging the pendulum from indifference to interest and vice versa.

Often, ignorance makes us indifferent. We are indifferent to everything that we do not know, about which we have no idea. The guy was indifferent to the opera, but one day the girl dragged him to La Traviata. The performance captivated him so much that the following months could be safely called as overcoming the sprint distance, where the start was indifference, and the finish was interest in the opera.

If the pole of indifference prevails in a person, we consider him indifferent. This does not mean that he does not have any interests. A person is indifferent to others, to things, but he has a hobby - brands. People will definitely call him indifferent, because this quality of his personality is shown in a convincing way. Few people know that stamps replace all the other joys of life for him. He will starve, but will not sell his collection. He doesn't care about people's opinions. For him, only brands matter. In other words, a person is always at a certain point on the Interest-Indifference scale. A person is rarely immediately indifferent to all his connections with the inner and outer world. It is difficult to find a person who would be immediately indifferent to family, friends, things, spiritual values. If in a person the manifested side (more than 50%) is associated with indifference, we call it indifferent. When a person approaches the Indifference Pole, it can lead to apathy, depression, and even death. Therefore, working with indifference is the way to the opposite pole. Indifference caves in when interest rears its head.

Indifference is offended by indifference. They are put in one synonymous row, although they differ significantly from each other. Indifference is the loss of the ability to love something or someone, and indifference is a selective lack of interest in someone or something at a given moment in time. An indifferent person can love one woman, and be indifferent to the rest. So they call him indifferent. Indifference turns into a vice when a person is indifferent to people, their fate, and he fixates, for example, on some fanatical idea. Indifference in conjunction with Evil is a hell of a cocktail. However, under normal conditions, one cannot equate the inability to love and a temporary lack of interest in someone or something. Therefore, indifference does not carry such a heavy negative meaning as indifference.

Many see only evil in indifference. In fact, this is a deep misconception. Our wise body finds a safe haven in indifference when it comes to hiding from depression, stress, shock, fear, and situations of heightened tension. Protecting ourselves from the outside world, we become indifferent, detached from what is happening around. We are seized by paralysis of emotions, mental activity is reduced, there are no desires and motivations for action. We become inactive, taciturn, lack of initiative and alienated from the outside world. Indifference protects us from feelings of despair and loneliness.

In other words, in such situations, indifference comes to the throat of interest and rages in full force. A little more and interest will go to the trash. In which life situations Is there such an imbalance between interest and indifference? First of all, the main ally of indifference is stress. P job loss, conflict, retirement, death loved one, natural disasters, problems with the law and much more, can become a factor in the exaltation of indifference. Life is so multifaceted that medications can be factors in the growth of indifference. You can swallow sleeping pills, birth control pills, valerian, heart drugs, antibiotics and become indifferent to everything. Alcoholism, drug addiction, chronic diseases, lack of implementation creativity, old age - also do not contribute to the growth of interest in life. Gerontologists and psychiatrists regard the indifference of the elderly as a way to protect against strong feelings.
What would happen to us if there were no indifference? As a result of a strong shock, we spend an enormous amount of energy. Nervous system, entering a state of indifference, as if pressing on the brakes to restore wasted energy. Otherwise, we would have faced nervous exhaustion with a threat to life. Another thing is that one cannot stay in a state of indifference for a long time. Steady indifference to oneself stops personal growth and leads to degradation, ossification of the soul. There is only one way out - to awaken interest. It is necessary to push off from the "indifference" pole and go in the direction of the "interest" pole.

In a pair of interest - indifference, both sides are equally important. For example, you brought your daughter to the figure skating section. The girl woke up an interest in this sport after she saw the performances of figure skaters on TV. From the pole of indifference to figure skating, she rushed to the pole of interest in the hope of becoming the new Olympic champion. Years of hard training pass. The most complex elements are worked out to automatism. The girl gets into the Olympic team. The significance of the upcoming performance, the interest to win gold medal limits its power. Previously, interest prompted her to act, to overcome difficulties. Now interest becomes her main hindrance. Success, the gold of the Olympiad depends on how much it reduces the importance of the upcoming performance, the importance of the opinion of coaches and viewers. Interest prevents you from completing the program as in training - professionally, on the "machine". For this, the girl must be in a state of indifference. Strength in indifference. Indifference unconsciously increases strength. It cannot be worked out in training. It must be born in a natural way - in unity with the mind. There is a saying in the Indian language: "Interest creates kings, but indifference creates emperors." The girl will become the empress of figure skating only when she is subject to a natural entry into a state of indifference.

Once a child asked his dad: “Here you are carrying the heaviest loads day by day, but you do not get tired. What is your secret? The father looked calmly at his son and said "in indifference". And he was right. A boxer who intends to win knows that if he thinks about how and where to hit, what consequences the fight can lead to, he will most likely lose the fight. Its strength is indifference, and the subconscious mind will do its job. Interest will make him "wooden" and inhibited, indifference - fast and unpredictable. He, like a wasp, will sting the enemy and will certainly win.

When a person cannot be hooked on the hook of importance, manipulated, then we are talking about an indifferent person. He cannot be led astray, for he is indifferent to obstacles. A weak person makes a problem out of obstacles. An indifferent person has no problem because he is indifferent to the obstacle and therefore it disappears.

Indifference does not argue. The disputant defends not his point of view, but his importance. This is his weakness. He is trying to prove something to someone, not understanding the absurdity of his intention. The indifferent will not prove anything to anyone, justify or object. Even when the whole world tries to insult him for indifference, he will say: "Your words are also indifferent to me." As long as a person attaches significance to thoughts: “I am not loved and not appreciated. I am being treated unfairly. I don't deserve this." He's weak. As soon as a person eliminates the excessive importance that he attaches to himself and the objects of the external world, as soon as he becomes indifferent to people's rumors, he becomes strong. There is real strength in indifference. Others tear the navel to maintain their "coolness", but, all the same, does not cause respect and a sense of strength. When a person has no interest in holding, owning, grabbing, tearing, then in the eyes of the outside world he will see respect, significance and charm. But he won't care.

Who teaches indifference? The teacher of indifference is interest. Realizing interests, we suppress indifference. And only when we reach the peak of the embodiment of our interests, we revive indifference. Knowing indifference, we know what interest is. Then, as the parable says, we comprehend the Way.

Indifference is the fruit of our mind. It has nothing to do with the soul. When a person falls into a state of indifference after a shock situation, the mind blocks our feelings and emotions. And when we return to normal reactions to situations in the outside world, again, the mind gives the green light for this. If indifference is a consequence of the mind, then indifference is a consequence of the "paralysis" of the soul. We can be indifferent and at the same time indifferent to pleasures. Indifference implies a volitional effort of denial, rejection, detachment from someone or something. A person may be partial to alcohol, but the mind forbids him to even think about it. As long as the mind is strong, a person will crush "the soul's wonderful impulses" and will be indifferent to alcohol. A man sees a luxury car in a car dealership. The soul sang: “Buy. Cool car". But the mind says, “Calm down. Move on and don't move." If he has already developed the practice of controlling his emotions, he passes by with indifference.

Indifference denies interest in personal life, in the family, in the work collective, in cultural and political life region, country and world. For example, a woman notices an interesting man. She has a certain interest in him that goes beyond indifference. She does not love, is not in love, but is simply not indifferent. However, her mind whispers to her: “You have a husband and two children. Family is more precious. If reason triumphs over lust, a woman will respond with indifference to all his verbal and non-verbal signals. Indifference cannot exist without its opposite. A person may show interest, but he does not care who will be right in family relationships or who won the election, with what promises and slogans, etc.

Often people behind the high concentration of the mind of a scientist on any problem see indifference. At night, at home, the astronomer watched the starry sky. Meanwhile, a thief got into the house. In the morning, having discovered the loss, the astronomer reported to the police. The thief was arrested. During interrogation, he claimed that no one was in the house at the time of the theft. In order to more accurately qualify the crime - theft or robbery - the investigator called an astronomer. - Where were you at the time of the crime? - Houses. - But the thief claims that you were not at home. The thief focused on what was valuable to him. I'm on what's important to me. I was "in the sky". He was "on the job". We were in the same room, but we never saw each other.

Petr Kovalev 2013

It is unlikely that at present there is a person who has never heard this word - "indifference". Maybe it does not sound as serious and weighty as the official ones. scientific terms, but still we think it cannot be disputed that the phenomenon denoted by this word is widespread and cannot but attract the attention of scientists: philosophers, psychologists, sociologists and even doctors, because a person’s views on the world have an active influence on his entire life. So it turns out that the degree of a person’s indifference significantly affects not only his relationship with other people (we think this connection will come to your mind first of all), but also his health and even the intimate sphere of his life.

If you are interested in what lies behind the word “indifference”, if you, hearing it, do not quite imagine what it is, in fact, it is, and, finally, if you have already come across this phenomenon closely, but would like to understand it in more detail, our book will help you with this.

In this chapter, we would like to introduce you to modern philosophical theories of indifference. We hope that, having studied them, you will easily be able to identify infidels from among the people around you, and even in a timely manner to detect the features of indifference in yourself.

So let's get started. Those who are familiar with this semi-slang word will easily translate it as indifference. The words “pofigist” or “pofigist”, as a rule, are called people who care or are interested in little in life. It is traditionally believed that if a person doesn’t give a damn at heart, nothing touches him at all. However, in reality this is far from the case.

Indifference is something broader than simple indifference. Let's start with the fact that indifference can be different: from indifference to others and to complete indifference to oneself. And all this fits into the framework of indifference. In addition, the degree of manifestation of indifference in a person can be different. No wonder they say that we are all in one way or another indifferent in the shower.

You can be convinced of the complexity of the concept of "indifferent" by carefully reading the already mentioned classification of "indifferent". As a result of a long and rigorous study of human characters, scientists have found that there are at least five types of indifference in human nature (of course, this is far from the limit, because human nature is complex, but five types of this philosophical trend stand out most clearly). Let's list them: absolute indifference, militant indifference, relative indifference, reasonable indifference, hidden indifference.

We think that even with a superficial acquaintance with the types of bullshit, you get a good opportunity to judge how wide the range of influence of bullshit on minds and souls is. Can you imagine? You live as you lived, and suddenly at one fine moment you find yourself indifferent features. This is quite possible, and there is no need to be afraid of this: very soon you will realize that there are a lot of things in indifference. good sides, the main thing is not to go to extremes and not turn, say, from a reasonable indifference into a militant ... However, we are getting ahead of ourselves. Let's talk better about everything in order.

So, let's start, perhaps, with the most extreme degree of manifestation of indifference, namely, with ABSOLUTE DIFFICULTY. We think that this phrase speaks for itself. An absolute indifference is a person who is characterized by an extreme degree of indifference to everything. As the term suggests, ABSOLUTELY everything.

It is quite easy to recognize an absolute indifference, because you cannot hide indifference to everything, no matter how hard you try. The most remarkable thing is that the absolute indifference does not try to hide it, because the way others treat him is as indifferent to him as everything else. Here is one of the clearest signs of an absolute indifference: if you are going to talk with him, get ready for the fact that his speech will be full of words and expressions like: "don't give a damn", "figs", "figs two" and even "don't care fog" , as well as expressions with a similar meaning “but I don’t give a damn”, “I wanted to sneeze at it”. He often has everything to the light bulb and everything is on the drum, which he immediately reports.

Another striking sign by which you can recognize the absolute pofigist is as follows. Unlike other nihilists, the absolute does not care about their own problems or the problems of others. He will not be equally worried about failures at work, or problems on the personal front with his best friend (if he has one at all), or an empty refrigerator (food is also not the main thing), or his own chronic pyelonephritis. An absolute indifference prefers not to know about all this at all, not to pay due attention to it, and if this is not possible, then at least not to remember it, erase it from memory and forget.

Note that this is quite rare and, no doubt, an extreme case of indifference. Getting acquainted with the proposed classification, you will find that all other nihilists are indifferent to only one thing: either to their own problems or to the problems of others.

So, an absolute nihilist is a nihilist with capital letter, nihilist of the most extreme degree.

In this regard, the question arises of how good it is to be indifferent to everything, that is, how profitable it is - to profess absolute indifference. Here, as elsewhere, there are pluses and minuses. On the one hand, being an absolute don't care, you can safely go with the flow without the risk of stumbling upon a reef. In other words, while a non-figurant will worry, doubt, worry, or even experience emotional shock about some more or less significant failure, an absolute nihilist, finding himself in a similar situation, simply will not pay any attention to failure. And based on the fact that nerve cells tend to wear out in the ups and downs of life (and they don’t recover, keep this in mind), an absolute indifference will keep them safe and sound until the end of his life, since nervousness is not characteristic of him at all. In fact, indifference saves us from many troubles.

But on the other hand, it is worth seriously thinking about the ratio of positive and negative in absolute indifference. Doesn't he border on complete moral deafness and the absence of any interests in life? For the time being, we will leave this question open: you will find the answer in the following chapters.

It should be noted that absolute indifference as an extreme manifestation of indifference in general is quite rare. But the second type, which in our classification is designated as a militant indifference, is much more common than you think. Rummage through your memory, take a closer look at your friends and acquaintances: for sure there will be a couple of militant infidels among them.

If you try to define the concept of "militant indifferent", it will turn out something like this: this is a person who is exclusively occupied with his own person. At the same time, the problems, interests and desires of other people do not excite him at all and do not interest him.

As you can see, there are many common features between the absolute indifference and the militant indifference: they are equally indifferent to the problems of those around them. However, if an absolute nihilist is just an indifferent person who does not even care how he lives, a militant nihilist is a real egocentrist. It happens that an aggressive militant nihilist, for his own good, is ready to go over other people's heads! In any case, it is better not to expect sympathy for the problems of others from a militant indifferent. It's easy for him, how about you?

RELATIVE DIFFICULTY is a milder form of indifference compared to the previous two. Those who, after reading the following definition of the concept, classify themselves as relative infidels, can be partly envied: relative indifference, as a rule, is inherent in geniuses, extraordinary personalities. Imagine a person obsessed with a lofty idea, and if you are endowed with imagination, the portrait of a relative infidel will immediately rise before your eyes.

A relative nihilist is by no means a passive absolute fellow who prefers to go with the flow, ignoring everything. Not at all. A relative nihilist is a nihilist who has set some goal, which must be achieved at all costs. It doesn't have to be the goal of making a best-selling movie, learning physics, or mastering Chinese because important goals are so different! For example, it will be a desire to make a career or a passionate desire to buy an expensive suit (after all, not everyone is able to become a great composer or director who annually receives an Oscar for another film masterpiece: the goals of relative infidels can relate to completely trivial things and issues).

Of course, it’s very good to set a goal, but a relative doesn’t give a damn about it, so that in pursuit of achieving such a desired goal, everything else is swept away from oneself: both the benefit of one’s loved ones and one’s own needs. But, by the way, the ability to concentrate on achieving a goal is called purposefulness and is rightly regarded as positive quality person.

As you can see, there is a lot in common between the relative indifferent and his predecessors according to the classification. The absolute indifference to the relative indifference is united by the fact that both of them are ready to say “don't give a damn” both to their own interests and to the interests of those around them. And with the militant indifferent to his “relative partner”, they are related by the fact that both of them are nevertheless directed at themselves: the first - at his own person, and the second - at the goal that he himself set for himself. And although they say that the end justifies the means, this is far from always the case, especially when, in pursuing your goal, you forget absolutely everything and everyone.

REASONABLE DIFFICULTY is, perhaps, the ideal form of indifference. We believe that a reasonable nihilist can only be envied. A person who adheres to the philosophy of reasonable indifference does not accept all the bad things that occur in his life. This rejection is expressed in the fact that a reasonable nihilist simply does not notice the bad, and if he notices, he does not attach any importance to it. It would seem, what then is the difference between him and the absolute indifference? After all, both of them save their nerve cells, preventing them from wearing out. However, the difference is very large. It lies in the fact that a reasonable nihilist, not paying attention to any negative aspects in his life, is quite capable at the same time of noticing all the good that surrounds him. In other words, if we proceed from the well-known aphorism “life is striped”, we can say about a reasonable indifferent person that black stripes simply do not exist for him, but white ones shine in front of him! Whereas for an absolute indifference, there are no white or black stripes in life, because he does not pay attention to either one or the other. And it is not at all clear why he lives in the world then.

Isn't the position of a wise man not attractive? Live without focusing your attention on problems, without tormenting yourself with vain experiences, without falling into depression! And at the same time, do not forget that there are so many good things in life that there are a lot of wonderful people around with whom you can get along well without infringing on their interests and without harming your own! In a word - a truly reasonable indifference. Such people, as a rule, live quite easily: their philosophy of life prescribes not to get upset over trifles and not to notice evil in the world at all. Such people are able to find something good even in the most unsightly, and this happens to them quite naturally, without any effort.

If you are familiar with the classics of Russian literature, reasonable indifference will seem to you somewhat akin to reasonable selfishness from famous novel Chernyshevsky "What to do?", whose characters live in harmony with their own "I" and with the people around them. Their life principle was, if you remember, - to live in such a way as not to infringe on the interests of others. Isn't it true that reasonable indifference is akin to a philosophical principle proclaimed by the great classic? You can easily find the same sincere response to what is happening around you in a reasonable nihilist, note an uncontrived interest in the world around you. Although this will be discussed in the next chapter, I would like to add that a reasonable nihilist is able to respond vividly to the good and beautiful that, fortunately, our life is filled with.

Let's move on to the fifth type of infidels. Note that it differs significantly from all previous types. The fact is that all varieties of indifference, which we told you about, can be considered pronounced, open. At the very least, no matter how indifferent (absolute, militant, relative or reasonable) the person you are interested in or yourself may be, you can easily recognize a nihilist in it: someone prefers to “live like everyone else and swim like everyone else”, not paying attention to anything; someone is concerned only with their own problems, completely ignoring the problems of others; someone pursues a goal that is more important than which he does not have in life. But there is another type of indifference, which can be very, very difficult to recognize. Imagine: a human soul will always sympathize with you, will always listen to your spiritual outpourings ... In a word, not a person, but simply a miracle, you think. And you have no idea that you are dealing with a real scumbag.

In this case, we are talking about HIDDEN DIFFICULTY - one of the most interesting manifestations of the phenomenon we are studying. Hidden indifference is the case when behind the outward manifestation of sympathy and spiritual participation ... nothing is hidden. Yes, there is really nothing behind this sympathy, since the hidden nihilist actually does not care about your problems at all.

Perhaps he cares about how others treat him. Being by nature a person who is indifferent to the problems of others, the hidden indifferent, however, strives to be perceived as a sincere, understanding person. In a word, if we apply the words from the famous novel by Margaret Mitchell to our case, he is by no means an angel of mercy, but he is not averse to being branded as one.

Such an attitude of a hidden nihilist to others is psychologically justified: agree that spending sleepless nights due to the fact that your girlfriend or friend has some minor troubles that she or he is quite capable of solving on their own, without your help, in general , not worth it. Psychologists often even offer to check yourself: if your general well-being is deteriorating, is it because you take on other people's problems too often?

However, not being a nonsense and “having shouted” the hidden nonsense, you will certainly feel a great disappointment, finding that nothing really lies behind the apparent ability to sympathize.

Checking such a person for the presence (absence) of indifference is very simple. It will be enough just to observe whether he will move from sympathetic silence to concrete help, whether he will give you useful advice. If not, in front of you, most likely, is a real hidden nihilist. As a rule, communication with such people is fraught with continuous disappointments, because at first glance it does not look at all at all.

So, you got acquainted with the latest philosophical concept of indifference. The origins of indifference, apparently, lie in human nature itself, since a person is simply not able to focus on everything, from which it is inevitably clear that a person will be indifferent to something, indifferent. In essence, is it bad not to get hung up on problems, to take failures lightly and not to shoulder other people's worries in addition to your own?

Of course, you will have to judge how useful indifference is, however, we hope that the content of the following chapters, concerning how indifference manifests itself in various fields life, will help to understand its essence, its positive and, if any, negative sides.

WHAT IS DIFFERENCE.
What are philosophical and psychological features indifference?
Why in modern psychology and philosophy does not have such a term?
Yes, because none of the scientists studied this phenomenon, although such a need is absolutely relevant and long overdue. Even such a great Scientologist and cannibalist as Ron Hubbard did not give a place in his research to apathy, in particular, he did not place it on his "emotional tone scale"! This speaks of the extreme limitations of his "teaching".
Everyone has heard of indifference, but unfortunately, as a slender concept, indifference is unknown to the general public. Indifference is one of the protective reactions of the human body to the surrounding and inner world. Indifference is a science, religion and psychotherapy at the same time. However, it is not propagandized, not preached and not studied for two simple reasons: those in power are not interested in it, and secondly, no one cares. Therefore, each person comes to indifference independently, fortunately, in each person, indifference is present from birth in a latent form. As for indifference as a doctrine, it is true, because it is true. And it is true because it is true. BASIC POSTULATES OF POFIGISM.
In indifference, as well as in other teachings, there are postulates-justifications for its essence. Some require proof, and some are accepted as true on the basis of statistics. Here is some of them.
1. Indifference is an impregnable tower of Ivory. (Tetcorax)
2. Giving a fuck is one of the surest ways to get into heaven. (Tetcorax)
3. If you want to be happy - be happy. (Kozma Prutkov)
4. Everything we really need is either cheap or nothing at all. (Seneca)
(This is an adult thought of a wise aksakal, and its realization requires a certain life experience and intellectual effort. Many people are not able to comprehend it until the very end of their lives.)
5. Any situation is either solved by itself, or not solved at all. Your participation in this situation is completely unnecessary.
6. If you cannot change the situation, then why suffer because of this? Deal with it, get away from it or throw it away. You can't change circumstances - change yourself. As an additional psychotherapeutic technique, you can swear at her.
